I am in the Queretaro (Mexico) area. I mailed my passport renewal application to GDL – Jun 16.
Jun 17 DHL tried to deliver and failed – saying office closed. I then emailed the GDL office – got no response.
I then asked DHL to attenpt again the next day. Jun 18 – DHL said delivered.
Jul 1 – I got an email saying ‘in progress’ and that it would take 4 to 6 weeks
Jul 8 – got an email saying “Passport and passport card mailed on Jul 7 to embassy/consulate”
Jul 17 – I picked up from DHL.
We have a very small favour to ask………….
We really hope this information is helpful to you and reduces stress whilst you are waiting for you passport. If you are able to make a small donation for the cost of a coffee it really helps us to maintain the site and continue to make improvements for future passport applicants.
